Design and Built Underwater Vehicle with Wireless Controlling Based on Arduino Microcontroller

In Proc. of the 2014 Makassar International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Informatics (MICEEI)This research is intended to create a prototype that can be used as one of the unmanned underwater vehicle. Unlike the ROV (Remotely Operation Vehicle) that has been available Which is the controlling still use a cable, and controlled from the ship. Design and manufacture of this prototype uses remote control Wireless Joystick PS 3 with a frequency of 2.4 GHz with range 20m, and use arduino as microcontroller. Then the prototype tested on some conditions which include the horizontal distance testing, how far the submarine can receive the signal from the transmitter. and the vertical distance testing that is how deep a submarine can dive. The results show that the testing horizontal range is about 19 to 20 meters without obstacle. While in the vertical test into the deepest reaches the distance from the test location
